think we're good to go now I'm seeing only only green lights OBS is telling me that it disconnected and reconnected and stuff but but but I think we're good to go welcome to the wine show it's just me this week all of LMG as you might recall I'm not technically part of LMG anymore all of LMG is off on this work ation thing in Banff if you want to look that up look that up if you want to look that up a lot of us Canadians say Banff which sounds like it has an M in it but it's actually an N so it's a ba n o FF it's an absolutely beautiful place a bunch of them are uploading pictures to their instagrams and their Twitter's and whatnot so check that out it's super cool but again it is just me this week so this is the wine show we've got some some topics I guess technically there's a new AMD Zen and Radeon Vega CPU for just 55 bucks sounds super cool but we'll talk about that later Microsoft is going to continue support for Windows 7 if you pay them there's a second razor phone that has been confirmed and and there's some some other cool news like leaked benchmarks showing off 9700 K some steam news some AT&T news some EA news of follow up of the Jacksonville shooting tons of random stuff so yeah stay tuned intro boom it worked what up cameras lately focus rip don't think I can fix it I might just be leaning too much or something I'll try to fix it launcher slides or not what now audience you didn't see that coming you try to guess everything like all the way and show it's gonna be late again and you're right by like three minutes but you you didn't guess that did you know sponsor slides what now let's go okay first topic let's talk about AMD and let's talk about Vega and let's talk about Zen and let's talk about Radeon there's a new CPU like I said earlier for fifty five bucks now I do want to say I'm gonna jump into the AMD's website here for a second I guess you guys gonna see twitch out on screen because I want to be able to see you there you are oh boy this isn't a lot of people didn't like oh my god yeah someone finally cares about the the low-end scene and that's not necessarily true intel does have processors that are around the $50 range as well and that are two core for thread processors like this one is what I will say is that Vega on a CPU is pretty neato and they're claiming that you should be able to do eSports games that's becoming a little bit broader of a statement these days so I'm not a hundred central how confident in that I am but it says eSports game high-definition 720p which is actually not bad especially for someone who wants to like just tip their dip their toe into gaming if you can do that without buying a graphics card you can is it okay is everything fine it looks like everything fine there's some people in the comments trying to try to troll me but I'm just gonna keep moving anyways it's it's it's gonna be nice to be able to play what I'm assuming is like counter-strike League of Legends kind of stuff I don't think we're gonna be hitting near the ranges of stuff like overwatch which is very very much in the in the eSports range these days and then there's other companies that try to claim they're like good the positive of eSports titles like pub G and that's just weird and I don't know what eSport the category of eSports games even necessarily means anymore before it was like Starcraft 2 League of Legends strike and some others that were around the similar difficulty to run and and now it's uh now it's changed a little bit let me know what you guys think in the twitch chat which I'm gonna be watching all stream because I don't exactly have anyone else to host with me let me know what you guys think is the hardest to run proper eSports title and if you think it could run on this new AMD Zen and Raiden Radeon Vega CPU for $55 because you could get a really really cheat I don't know if you guys watch the last season of scrapyard works that was an older AMD chip with graphics on it but in a 10 couldn't really run fortnight reasonably but that wasn't at 720p we were doing that I believe at 1080 so I don't know Microsoft continuing to support Windows 7 if you can pay although Windows 7 extended support is scheduled to go through January of 2020 this new paid for support I believe should go through 2023 yeah yeah 2023 we don't have a specific month you will have to pay an additional fee for the security patches and it will be just security patches there's no details yet on pricing this news comes from the register by the way that first topic was posted by the Benjamins thank you very much the Benjamin's on the forum this one I don't think was posted by anyone in particular oh there's actually a kick uber article let me jump over there real quick dududu someone saying Luke is feeling better nope still sick just putting it on for an hour we're good here we go Microsoft yeah like I said Microsoft adds another three years of security buh-buh-buh-buh-buh this is going to be great for actually quite a few people because if I remember correctly Windows 7 is about 40 percent of current operating system installs right now I don't know if that's all operating systems on PCs that's obviously not for phones but I don't know if that's all operating systems for PCs or if that's all operating systems that are Windows but it's about 40 percent of windows installs which is which is a lot I'm personally a windows 8.1 or I like Windows 8.1 even though my percentage of people is very very very small I actually I like that operating system because I can play all the games on it not most of them which I guess Linux now has which is quite cool and I can do the vast majority of my work on it which is which is cool but yeah it's it's gonna be interesting interesting to see how much it cost because I don't know if this is going to be a someone's like WTF Windows 8.1 yeah it's it's actually not that bad people are saying its Terra bad I doubt you've used it I don't you've used it for an extended period of time it has quite good compatibility and it doesn't have the yeah like it has quite good compatibility which is better than Windows 7 but then it's not Windows 10 which is which is quite nice you can all bicker about it while you haven't used it for extended periods of time that's fine anyways Microsoft will continue support of Windows 7 don't know if this is a consumer thing or a commercial thing it might be vastly out of the price range of most consumers and it might just be more for like airports and enterprise stuff because we often find that those industries like to not upgraded their operating systems pretty much ever and will often pay for extended support so that might be the situation that we're having here because we've had that situation before and they might just be prepping people beforehand that it will be possible because I think it was always and like after the point kind of situation before I bet you there will still be some groups very major companies that will have to go into another extended term after 2023 but we'll have to see when that happens Wow we are 10 minutes in and I'm slamming through topics that's one of the problems when you only have one host there's no like back and forth conversation so things just go real quick I didn't really see Cera's more focus in me could I do this then does that make it better are you gonna stop stop crying now that might that might fix it Dennis Dennis Dennis Dennis is off in Banff I talked about this when I first launched the show but I think I saw it earlier today he was on a bike ride I don't necessarily know what he's doing right now ah I just want to see in the comments if anyone mentioned any of those eSports games I was talking about I didn't really see any everyone just got so fixated on me and Windows 8.1 it's not the first time I've mentioned on the windchill when his fist is greater than oh don't forget the sponsors today we do have two sponsors but they're not they're not your normal kind of sponsors they're affiliate sponsors and I don't have banners for them so I had nothing to put up in the intro and I will have nothing to put up when I talk about them later but yeah no no it's Humble Bundle and p IA I believe but well we'll talk about them later okay next topic is and this one confuses me a little bit but let's talk about it the second raiser phone has been confirmed there was a what is it called is it even in these notes yes there was a financial report which is often where we find these types of leaks stating that Razer will be launching a razor phone to or whatever you end up calling it they have been slashing prices on the first gen phone probably trying to get some of that inventory out the phone should be relatively powerful like the first gen phone it will have eight gigs of ram so the first razor phone had eight gigs of ram the SOC or system-on-a-chip is getting an upgrade to the flagship snapdragon 845 from Qualcomm and it'll go from four cores to eight which is actually pretty major the phone appeared on Geekbench with a single score of 2026 and a multi-core score of 82 34 better than the first gen model but not as high as flagships such as the iPhone X and the Samsung s9 there may be more up apparently there may be more gamer centric features such as a fast display that may help to appeal to a more gamer centric target audience this is where my question for you guys lands I know the gamer section as a whole console and PC are able to come together on the one idea mobile gamers aren't gamers but I have a legitimate question and I need I need some help on this avoid let's avoid the saltiness for a moment I legitimately don't know is there any mobile games that will actually benefit from 120 Hertz screen I really don't know because the only mobile games that I've ever really even seen are like you is either Pokemon go where you like swirl around and then just throw the thing and then everything else happens kind of automatically and you definitely don't need 120 Hertz screen for that or it's like clicker simulators where it's like oh you've waited 16 hours press that button now and then press that button and then wait 16 hours again or pay some money and have it accelerated I don't know a fortnight sort of forgot about that okay so it's basically for fortnight in pub G I guess that's pretty much it VR okay the are on mobile really sucks but whatever okay that's a good point and 120 Hertz screens becoming common for mobile will help push VR forward someone's like uncanny crush oh my goodness okay so it's probably mostly fortnight pub G and P ARS a really small section but sure we are people saying prawn I don't know if anyone's into 120 Hertz on that they might be I don't know it does that is a very technologically pushing sector of the market that is absolutely true that that is a thing they horn pushes the market like crazy but I don't I don't I don't think there's a huge market for 120 Hertz phones just for that I could be super wrong I don't know I'm just saying speaking of what I was just talking about steam is adding filters to hide certain games in search you guys might have known a while ago we talked on the LAN show about steam day they blocked some game and then that started this huge conversation about what stuff should be or should not be allowed on Steam and I think that pushed steam to eventually say that they would pretty much allow everything that wasn't illegal I think that was their official ending statement but they would not be obligated to promote such things and I think they're going more in that direction by allowing people to have filters and I'm assuming there's going to be some form of default filters that you would have to uncheck this would allow controversial titles to be on the platform such as adult games but make it so they don't automatically get promoted to everybody users also have flexibility to hide things they don't want in general so if you didn't want like racing games you could use the same filter to filter out those games which would be cool I personally like racing games I'm just saying I'm just saying users now will be able to list ten tags up from three apparently you're already able to do three of things that they do not want to see gamers now have the choice of omitting certain developers and publishers specifically so if you have like a boycott against a specific publisher sorry EA is not on Steam you would be able to block them out completely as well as including mature content adults only kind of games the former will exclude games where the publisher hasn't told steam exactly what that mature content is because I I guess there's categories for that too but I'm assuming that's more for a search reason I don't know the idea is to balance keeping steam an open platform where a lot of different people can use it and it doesn't feel weird and you can actually have your like Steam store up on your desktop without like worrying if your mom's gonna be able to see it but also be able to have all these games that people apparently want on Steam yeah what do you guys think about this solution I think it's a relatively good solution I don't care about those kinds of games so I'll just leave the filter on I guess so that those types of games are blocked literally just so that they don't clutter up the store because I actually do use the steam store to like search for new games every once awhile I'll filter through try to find something that finds seems interesting and then look for reviews online so if I can remove certain things I actually really like the publisher feature because there's certain game publishers even if I have nothing against them I just already know that I don't like their type of games so if I can just block them out that seems that seems great so far twitch chat seems to be agreeing with me someone said an ok solution about as good as you could get yeah I could see that countryroads I don't I don't think imagine you could block country roads and that it just only blocked fallout 76 and all the DLC that would be oh yeah I'll be pretty great moving on to the next topic British Airways suffers a huge data breach apparently an unknown attacker carried out a sophisticated breach of British Airways security the hacker exposed three hundred and eighty thousand transactions and compromised customers financial information though not their travel plans okay I mean that's still bad but it's actually not as bad their CEO has promised to compensate anyone who suffers financial loss due to the hack customers affected have already been notified by British Airways and British Airways even took out a newspaper ad apologizing okay funnily enough British Airways was in talks with IBM to outsource their security briefly before the cyberattack perhaps to cut costs they seemed to be responding to this in in the best way they probably could to be completely honest having the CEO just kind of automatically come out and say hey we're gonna cover any of the costs that that happened from this having people's travel information not be leaked it is huge because that would be a problem for a huge number of reasons take him to a newspaper ad just to make sure like everybody knows yeah I don't know I mean it's not a great thing that had happened but this day and age like practically everyone gets hacked you guys should check out have I been poned calm let me see if I can go there right now Denton and today being pwned dot-com yeah there we go have I been partly you can't see it cuz my kid yeah there have I been poned really cool website covers a whole bunch of different data breaches I don't think technically all of them but like a huge amount and it's interesting because you can see under down here largest breaches you can see all the largest of myspace accounts from back in the day heck yeah pwned accounts five billion three hundred and seventy 1 million nine hundred thirteen thousand six hundred and twenty five this happens a lot a lot of different websites a lot of different companies get rekt and end up leaking data it's the thing that happens you should be securing your own stuff I'm gonna promote using some form of password manager and there is a range of different ways a range of different services that you can use for password management and you can go with like super hardcore kind of really annoying to use but incredibly secure options all the way up to still way more secure than what you're probably doing right now not necessarily because I'm sure this audience especially has quite a few people in it that are properly taking care of their passwords but still probably better than what you're doing right now like it just the standard password manager and then you can also look into other ways of securing that password manager with 2fa with physical authentication with a bunch of other types of things and that will make it so that it's easier to have a different password for every single website and service you use so that when you do I'm gonna say win if when you do get pwned by a website's user accounts or whatever getting leaked you don't have all of your accounts get wrecked it's like just that singular one I would highly highly recommend doing so yeah it will help you in these situations because it's it's it's more or less inevitable like there's there's a wild amount of services that have their information stolen and it's going to happen eventually and I would honestly there's even ease-of-use argument once you get a password manager set up it's not you don't have to remember so many things anymore you have to remember like your master password for that password manager I would also recommend having your email not in that password manager and remembering that password as well so you have like two passwords that you need to remember and that's pretty much it that's not bad that's this that's pretty simple also just for those master passwords you can watch there's there's a great xkcd on making a strong password and we also have I believe a last active SEPA sewed and a tech quickie episode about making stronger passwords so check those out and and secure your own stuff man because while these companies should keep their things secure it's still gonna happen eventually so don't don't trust anyone secure your own stuff there you go there's also leaked benchmarks of the i7 9700 k if we want to get back to to tech topics we have this from hexxus dotnet I haven't actually seen the chart load up on my screen yet and there we go I can tell you definitely faster there we go oh this is like not the easiest to read thing ever but bump what is this this should be the previous one system manufacturer system product name great there that's an 8700 K and then this should be a 97 okay yeah so we're looking at single core performance of the 8700 K at six thousand and twelve single core performance of the 9700 K at six thousand two hundred ninety seven multi core performance of the 8700 K at twenty seven 463 and multi core performance of the 9700 K had 30,000 152 so I mean it's a step up intel is still kind of ruling the single core performance realm but dx12 Vulcan being a big deal just gonna switch back here dx12 volcán being a really big deal processors generally having a lot more threads these days and cores for sure but threads these days is going to slowly promote promote slowly promote more multi-core utilization as we move forward and actually make multi-core utilization better and more beneficial as we move forward if you haven't watched my DX 2 what what the heck is the x12 in Vulcan video I would highly recommend you do so in general just because it's one of my favorite videos but it also covers how multi-core is used there's certain things even with the x12 in volcán that are gonna have to stay on core 1 but DX 12 invoked in help or thread 1 or whatever but DX 12 invoke can help spread out the load in general onto other course and and enable that to happen so it's good it's good right now Intel still kind of winning the game and the single core performance but but there's a lot of things going in AMD's favor right now so so don't don't feel too bad if you're an AMD fan everything's everything's kind of good for everybody right now the CPU space is quite strong at the moment it has been stronger in the past but it's great that we at least have a very strong competitor of these days also AT&T offers first-responders unlimited data but there is a catch I don't necessarily know why this is an article on the LAN show to be completely honest my only reason why I'm saying that is they're just doing the same annoying crap that basically every other ISP is doing we've been hearing about this a fair amount lately when there's a disaster everyone gets on two connected resources a lot of people are trying to it's called FaceTime I call I don't know I don't know Apple stuff but video call other people on iPhones I believe it's called FaceTime I'm trolling I know what it is or trying to Facebook call or do other various video calls on Android or whatever else because they're trying to talk to their friends and family because they don't know if they're gonna get rekt by whatever disaster so AT&T is saying hey first responders can have unlimited data but there's a catch you're on the same backbone as everyone else we're not gonna prioritize your stuff so you're still going to get throttled so it doesn't really help ultimately that's a huge problem they need a different they needed a different back-end apparently they actually have one if local police fire or EMS emergency medical services department doesn't you so sorry no I skipped my notes a little bit oh it just jumps right into that anyways there's something called firstnet the US government contracted I believe it was AT&T to make firstnet and that is supposed to save them from this I don't know if it's like way more expensive or something if you want to subscribe to it but they are not theoretically subject to throttling on firstnet and that's exactly what happened with Verizon this this like a few months ago I think are two months ago or something where there's that fire department that got super throttled is they're saying well they weren't on firstnet which is supposedly the the issue but I guess this is kind of nice the AT&T first responders unlimited data plan has 25 percent off so that that's that's cool doesn't save you if your data is being throttled and you're a first responder trying to get information back and forth during a disaster but saves you a couple bucks every month so that's a a plus for effort AT&T anyways EA is being sued nope we're gonna talk about sponsors get wrecked everyone the first sponsor is private area access and I don't have a banner for this but I kind of want to can I do this yeah okay I'm just gonna remove the banner in its entirety so what everyone knows that this is not like a normal section of the show this is the sponsor section of the show why this is gonna join us real quick that's not it focus at all is it whatever Lance is gonna join us for a second so private Internet access private Internet access as you guys know is av P n we've talked about a ton on the show I'm sure you guys have heard about it in general but we have a partnership with them in ways I guess the business guys are going to hate me because I don't know the correct term for this affiliate we haven't affiliate with them they have a great VPN it works for tons of different stuff like Windows Mac OS Android iOS Linux Google Chrome specifically if you don't want to have it on your whole computer and you want the ease of use of it just activating in your browser with support for several other platforms coming soon so like practically freaking everything and even more stuff later on you can connect up to five devices at the same time under one plan with private Internet access and it has an internet kill switch this part I think is quite important and is actually really cool the internet kill switch will block all traffic will essentially temporarily cut off your internet if the VPN becomes disconnected unexpectedly the reason for that is if you're currently using your internet and you are expecting to be protected by a VPN and then the VPN turns off and you keep broadcasting you just compromised everything and it was completely useless so that is actually very important that is a very important feature a lot of people overlook check it out today the link is in the description if you're on twitch yeah I don't know if you want to type this in it's private internet private Internet access com / pages / - - tech - tips slash Linus way in which is the the easiest URL I've ever heard I'm just going to dump that and chat real quick if I even can but nope I can't get rekt so again private access comm / pages / - - tech - tips / linus Wham there you go I'm sure that's I'm sure you got that next up humble bundle I have we advertised humble bundle before I don't I think this is a first I haven't used humble bundle in a little while but I think like probably probably like half my steam library is from Humble Bundle I've gotten a ton of stuff from them and it's really cool because you can adjust sliders and give money to charity or give money to Humble Bundle or give money to the developers all this all this fun stuff save money on games and help support charity with Humble Bundle check out their summer sale that's cool they've got great deals on games like planet coaster pray fallout 4 and more they've also got Humble monthly where you sign up to get a curated bundle of games sent to your inbox each month this month you can sign up for $12 and 10% off most games in their store and you'll get overwatch what the heck ok I was expecting is gonna be a whole bunch of tiny little indie games but you get overwatch for 12 bucks if I'm reading this correctly you sign up for their humble monthly you get 10% off most games that are in their store and you get overwatch cool check it out at our affiliate link in the video description again don't got one for you live but on YouTube it will be down there the the URLs the Humble Bundle URL in general is GE n i dot u.s. forward slash capital double capital w lowercase C capital a capital X capital B six the humble monthly link is GE ni us forward slash lowercase X uppercase u uppercase Q lowercase M and uppercase L and I can't copy and paste that into twitch chat and I don't have a lower banner for you so good luck I believe in you I absolutely believe you can make it put it in the chat I can't I'm not logged in to twitch my bad going back up I'm running away now okay leaked bench mine oh I already did that 118 already did that one ei being sued by victim of Jacksonville Madden tournament shooting I think we all probably saw this coming I wonder what you guys do you think about it and I want to hear from you in twitch chat and on the comments on YouTube because I think this will be a relatively controversial topic I'm gonna more or less keep my opinions out of it but I'm interested what the community thinks after I'm sure you guys have heard about the Jacksonville shooting at the Madden tournament I didn't know Madden had in-person tournaments but sad very sad regardless after a shooting that left two dead at a Madden NFL tournament in Jacksonville Florida the other week some some time ago one survivor is being sued by EA the producer of the game his theory of the case is that I should put this back group there we go is that EA who sponsored the tournament make negligently did not pick a safe venue or provide adequate security it's unclear how much the plaintiff is seeking in monetary damages and EA has already promised to donate $1,000,000 to the victims the lawsuit notes that the area around the venue has suffered from other shootings as well as stabbings in recent years but seeing as the shooter was a Madden player from out of town not from Jacksonville Florida it will be interesting to see if that argument holds any water in in court the shopping mall and the restaurant where the shooting took place are also being named as defendants it's a relatively broad case it's gonna be it's gonna be really interesting I don't really super want to go into it but it's gonna be very interesting to see what the community thinks about this I know there are a lot of different opinions on security especially these days and because it was a shooting it involved a firearm which means there's like even more aggressive opinions on that so it's it's it's gonna be interesting to see what you guys have to say so yeah comment in twitch comment on YouTube try not to rip each other apart too much just have a sit have a civil discussion about crazy things that suck how about that what didn't mean to play that intro sorry about that let me go back to the dock and scroll through here for a second Frye's a' fries oh whoa that actually sounds kind of cool but I just combined Forza or forts ax is it Forza or fourths ax I hear both I'm gonna go with forza forza horizon for specs have been announced it is a racing game i know this is the second time i mention racing games of this stream racing games are not generally as hard on your system as other games which is cool because you kind of want really high refresh rates and you want really really really cranked graphics because it can look absolutely beautiful some of the best looking games and really not crazy hard to run which is great it has been anticipated for a while a lot of people have been knowing that it's on the way but the recommended specs are out although for 1080p60 microsoft recommends a gtx if you're on the gtx side of the game you're looking at like a 970 or 1060 about or if you're on the other side you're looking at like a 290x or 470 which really isn't too bad 970 sr like 4 years old now somewhere around there it's been a little while and 10 60's are now not quite but soon to being replaced we're assuming 2000 series graphics cards are gonna have a 60 eventually so it's it's kind of on the way so the prices shouldn't be too bad for those cards and that's 1080p 60 you get 60fps which again important for a racing game in my opinion however if you do have something as low as a GT 740 which you like probably shouldn't have because you should have bought just a retro car but that's on the line you might get a good deal on one of those if it's a 720 you should definitely not buy it but anyways if you have something as low as a GT 740 you will be able to play the game at 720p you'll be able to play the game it won't be the best experience ever but you will be able to play the game the requirements which is spelt as respire mints in the dock the requirements are more or less the same as horizon 3 so this shouldn't be way too surprising despite the fact that there were some noticeable graphical improvements when the game was shown as III although as we all probably know here that means more or less nothing I don't necessarily know if Microsoft has been caught showing like way better footage at e3 than the game comes out as but we've had that happen like a lot so ya don't know how much I would read into that but it is a next generation of the game so I'm assuming it will look it will look a bit better and will be interesting to see if they have some of that new tech coming out like I wonder if if you do have one of the new 2000 series cards a racing game with rate racing would look great I'm just saying that be that would be quite fantastic and this becomes immediately awkward because there's about 23 minutes left in the show and and I don't have any more topics I have an idea though if you guys want to hang with me for a second the Linus tech tips forum in the tech news section which is very very close to a million posts can probably save me once again right I don't know why this was oh no I dunno either so it wasn't in the dock but this is actually totally okay AMD 7 nanometre GPUs have been confirmed for 2018 I am gonna put a little slight warning here is that the confirmation of these cards may not be for gamers necessarily I kind of suspect at the very least the first wave of these things is going to be for the not gaming community so don't get too hyped but any GPUs on the 7 nanometer process will mean that will eventually come to gamers so this is exciting kind of regardless in the end so don't worry don't worry about it don't worry about it too much people want floatplane news I how about this I'll do that next and there is actually some interesting flow play news finally it's been a little while this this might not be the best news for NVIDIA as you might guess amongst the 2000 series hype once it died down a little bit not even that much just a little bit and you dropped this little news nugget hoping to as far as I can tell grab a little bit of that hype and pull the conversation back to them which is a good idea Nvidia seems to be going in a direction of almost removing some of the tangibility of differences between cards by adding the AI cores and moving to things like ray tracing technologies and other things that RT X is gonna be able to do in general like moving anti-aliasing in some games if they're done the right way to the AI course to free up the cuda cores for other things but all this kind of stuff and AMD's going like even smaller process brah so it's gonna be an interesting fight in the next couple of years and with Intel talking about tossing their hat in the ring as well graphics is gonna be it's gonna be fun for a little while so that's exciting because honestly for quite a few years their graphics and CPU were just like kind of dead and boring and it was basically more or less one team on each side and now we're splitting back and it's so it's been good so speaking of which floatplane news I don't have a banner for this what if I just like sit on the blue side more I guess that doesn't really make any sense because that's the wrong blue that's closer to like in is that closer to an Intel blue maybe that's probably the reason why they did this flew in red then we need a green um full plain blue is lighter but anyways full plane is getting a bunch of new stuff pretty soon I know I know well so you probably don't even care but it's interesting to me we have a new payment system coming the reason why we haven't been talking a ton about floatplane lately is because we've wanted to get this new payment system out because the current payment system is kind of a drag to use and we're refactoring the entire thing and that should be out next week I've been saying that for a month and a half but I believe it this time wholeheartedly I think it's going to be out next week so that's actually quite exciting because that should be good for everybody people who are currently subscribed people are going to subscribe in the future that should be good for everyone and with that payment system coming out that will free AJ up to push a bunch of things into prod that have been ready for a while now but have not been the priority over getting payments working like discord so you will be able to have your floatplane account and get authenticated on the Linus tech tips discord with your flow plan again this is not a there's not a feature this is not a feature yet but it's coming it's the code is like done it's just not in prod okay just about the ba ba ba ba ba don't try to do this now you'll be able to link your flow playing duck we count two discord get discord access rights in the LTTE discord and anyone else's discord that decides to do this meaning right now tech deals and bit wit and anyone else that joins the platform will be able to have their own discord floatplane bot which can give access to people and be used as a notification system speaking of notifications native through the website notifications are finally coming so you'll actually be able to get notified through mobile and if you want if you sign up for it email alerts for new videos to people that you are subscribed to which is also great also the chat for streaming will be fixed so I don't know if you heard us talking about it but we're gonna be streaming the wine show through floatplane that's all done as well again it's not it's not an it's not in prod don't it's not yet but the code is done it just hasn't been pushed into prod so we'll be able to stream the wine show and any other Creators on flow plane will be able to stream through full plane as well fun stuff there's also a bunch of front-end improvements coming and some other great stuff that doesn't necessarily affect you guys all that much but yeah there's gonna be really really cool things for flip plane in a little while someone in chat says Rando question but will you guys ever do a online scrapyard war it's like eBay or Amazon maybe with a rushed custom design segment I seriously doubt it the most boring part of any scrapyard wars is when Linus and I sit down and go okay the competition started I'm super excited and they offered up time for me to sit here on my laptop and type away just tappy tappy tap and send a bunch of emails that is like definitely the most boring part of any scrapyard wars ever so we'll probably stay away from that but you know it's coming so what I'm hearing is all these changes have been fully implemented and we need to know stuff none of them were implemented this Jill they're coming though they're on the way and I'm quite excited about that I had something else I was going to talk about but I don't remember now I was gonna move on to the next next topic that's the magic of video editing yeah video editing an entirely online contest doesn't really give you a lot to to edit if you know what I mean we have some cool ideas for scapular dwarfs actually Jay and I were talking at PAX West about a potential scrapyard Wars idea that we kind of started with a little nugget and then grew it over time while we were sitting down having dinner and it says it could be pretty cool could be pretty sweet I'm gonna pitch it to Linus when he goes back it's related to an idea that lies and I came up with two but with Jays input I think I think it made it even even better someone just mentioned my stream and that reminded me of the thing that I wanted to bring up I do charity streams every once in a blue moon where I play games for 24 hours because I'm insane and then people donate a ton of money and end up streaming for like 30 hours but we make a whole bunch of money for extra life extra life which is Children's Miracle Network Children's Miracle Hospitals children's hospitals etc I haven't done one in a long time because I've been super crazy busy with like floatplane and other stuff and my life has been pretty hectic for a while but I'm gonna get back to it so October 6 October 6 I'm having my first charity stream of 2018 I will be doing 24 hours of playing games I will probably be doing my standard charity stream setup which is where I do like one game from each year there might be some slight changes to that but I'm going to do one game for an hour and then switch which game I'm playing and probably it will be through the ages so I'll start in like 1990 or maybe 1992 at this point so I got a kind drag it forward to make it 24 hours but play one game for one hour from that year and then iterate the year by one year plus one whatever and then play one game from that year and go so on and so forth so yeah that's in about a month I would love to have you there even if you don't donate anything to extra life I'd love to have you there regardless and while most charities that I work with don't don't love this line I'm gonna say if you're a student who's just trying to scrape by or whatever don't donate anything don't worry about it don't worry about it take care of yourself for now and then once you're more established later on then come on and help I usually every year we do we do quite well my charity stream is apparently the biggest donator group for like British Columbia so we do pretty well with the charity streams don't worry about it too much but yeah come on by October 6 there'll be more details later it will be probably starting Pacific Standard Time noon so yeah noon midday on October 6 that's in about a month spread the news spread the noise and yeah I'll be doing a little probably smaller announcements but I'll be doing I'm honestly I'm mostly trying to burn time right now cuz I didn't know more topics but I'll be doing more announcements leading up to it so I'll try to remind you going forward so forth forwards towards October 6 anyways I'm gonna search for a new topic apparently I know nothing about this apparently ei backpedals on screwing over PC battlefield 5 standard edition customers this was posted by aluminum tech on the forum and I don't actually know what was so bad about it let's see the website originally showed this on PC whereas the battle royale mode was marked as included for both console versions so if you check out this screenshot you can see the check marks everywhere I'm assuming this far right column is PC the screen char can be a little better but it shows that online multiplayer battle royale online co-op and tides of war are check-marked everywhere and then there's a Bert a bold a bold - just right in the middle where I'm assuming the PC column is so that's that's a little that's a little rough but like the thread says they've backpedaled on it I have not played battlefield 5 yet if you guys are interested I believe there is a open why is everyone saying Skype dance I can't scrape Dennis Dennis isn't like the mountains right now having a vacation I'm gonna I'm gonna leave him alone he probably doesn't even have network access right now and when you know what just just let let Dennis have his day off ok anyways yeah so the the EA is backpedaling over battlefield 5 PC standard edition customers I'm assuming that means that they will now have battle royale mode EA has updated the battlefield 5 pre-order page which now says that firestorm which is I'm assuming the battle royale mode will be part of the standard edition on pc yeah perfect it's unclear if this change if this is a change in policy or the company fixed a mistake on its website yeah so it might have had the - on accident I I kind of doubt a doubt that so by accident I should say it's technically more correct my bed but yeah ei doing dumb stuff and hurting their community is not even remotely surprising so I'm gonna go with that angle moving on I don't know if anyone cares about this so I'm just gonna say the title Apple's 999 pound you're no pound British pound apples 999 British pound iPhone X is enormous ly underpriced quoted by Warren Buffett I don't know if anyone cares we're just gonna move on Microsoft is reviving Xbox one voice control but they're doing it using Alexa and Cortana powered devices I also don't know if anyone cares about this so I'm not gonna dive into it way too hard but again you heard it in the title they're reviving voice control using Alexa and Cortana power devices I didn't know Cortana really had a bunch of devices other than PCs I don't know but you know that's fine dude to do right if you guys haven't heard about this it is included in yeah it's posted right here so gamers access has been has been like very very noticed for a little while right now because of there they're like I don't know what to call it it's not a normal fight but they're like squabble with Tom's Hardware it's interesting because gamers Nexus is being very critical of Tom's Hardware but in a way that I can respect relatively deeply where they're almost being like what the heck guys this isn't you it feels like they're like addressing their like drunk friend and they're being like come on man you need to you just smarten up you need to stop drinking so much bubble blah because they're they seem to be doing it like out of love which is cool I've always liked the the like tech review community because they've always been really cool and it's it's cool that we can even criticize each other in positive ways so I don't know I'm gonna I'm gonna give them that shoutout and I'm gonna switch to my screen for a second this PO was posted by Rascal on the forum but if you heard about the the little fight that was going on between Tom's and gamers Nexus there was a bunch of that happening on Twitter there was also a video produced by gamers Nexus it was not received super well by Tom's but then Tom's isn't ran by Tom anymore and Tom responded which is pretty interesting he responded on Facebook and then gamers Nexus made a video response to that addressing the original response buh-buh-buh-buh-buh the whole thing's been very very weird I know we've talked about our I believe we've talked about it before on LAN show so I'm not going to rego over everything some of the chat said there's actually a Tom question mark where did it go there's actually Tom thought it was just a marketing ploy no there is a Tom he hasn't worked for Tom's Hardware in a while now but interestingly enough there was actually in his post he talks about potentially coming back which is which is interesting I suspect he wouldn't necessarily even be able to come back to to talk again there's actually two different Tom's websites which are two different entities I believe it's Tom's Hardware and then Tom's Hardware de or something I'm not super sorry I'm not on a present up to speed on that but there's and he might be able to come back to like one of them or I don't I don't I don't know but it's a it's a developing story I find it quite interesting and gamers Nexus is on the forefront of that so check out their articles and stuff because I was just at PAX and was unable to pay full attention to all of this all of this stuff even though it's it's quite interesting going back to the previous pages I don't see this in here but what's his name actor that plays Superman henry cavill has apparently been selected to to play as the get rekt for this but the witcher he's gonna play the witcher let me find a natural article on this yeah henry cavill will star in Netflix's series The Witcher here we go OOP best known as Superman he will play Geralt there we go that's the name I forgot his name I was gonna rip me apart because of that roach yeah that'd be great if he played the horse I would okay I'm gonna I know no one cares I'm gonna go on this slight tangent for a second it would actually be hilarious if it was a super serious TV show and there was like a proper actor playing Geralt and then this does Henry Cavill as Roche the horse I don't know why but I would have absolutely oh man he's very young for girl yeah I don't know like obviously if you've watched shows in the last long time it's not that hard to make someone look believably a little bit older I think they'll be completely fine with that he doesn't look like Carol I think you guys will be a little bit surprised I think it'll be okay TV and movies are quite wondrous these days I think I think it will probably be fine but yeah what was 8 what Tron to go watch Tron 2 and look at the age transformation that they do in there it's absolutely quite incredible I don't think the production quality is going to be quite on Tron 2 levels but they should be able to do they should be able to do quite a good job but with that I think I'm gonna end it it's been like almost an hour and I think I'm kind of done scraping the the the last Actives forum for news articles thank you guys for watching I know it wasn't quite as good as if I had a co-host here but I did my best tune in next week from or great tech news I wanted to make sure that I did this show for you guys just because I knew we we didn't we were almost not gonna have a LAN show this week and we didn't have tech wiki episodes this week so like both of the sources of news from lioness media group didn't make it to you guys so I thought I'd I thought I'd try to scramble together with John's help thank you very much John from Linus Media Group for writing the doc scrabbled together a little little wine show for you guys so yeah have a great weekend try to plan for about a month from now October 6 to show up to the charity stream even if you're just going to come say hi and I'll see you guys later pixal three forgot about that I am KB HD is gonna be all over that we're gonna have coverage of pixel three there's some leaks and stuff I'm excited I'm probably going to get one anyways the weekends have a good one
